That one of the bishops of Tripoli should come as
legate, and that a presbyter might be heard there by five bishops.

It also seemed good that one
bishop from Tripoli, on account of the poverty of the province, should
come as a legation, and that there a presbyter might be heard by five
bishops, and a deacon by three, as has been noted above, his own bishop
presiding.

Notes.

Ancient Epitome of Canon
XIV.

On account of the scarcity of bishops in Tripoli, one
bishop shall suffice for a legation.

This canon is made up of two parts. The first part
is Canon v. of the synod of Hippo, a.d. 393,
and was repeated at the Carthaginian synod of 397. The second
half is from Canon viij. of the same council.
